MINIATURE PAINTING WEEKEND AT HILTON PARK, COUNTY MONAGHANHilton Park is the perfect place to create this fascinating art form, as an historic house we are home to a few beautiful miniatures ourselves and we are aiming to ensure this art form survives as a fine art. We hope to inspire artists as well as non artists to practice this intimate and delicate hand held art form. So if you would like to learn how to paint miniature or perhaps you already are practising this art form and would like to learn some new skills. All levels are welcome.
The weekend will be a luxurious one with four course candle light dinners around the big table, beginning on Friday evening. The course will commence the following morning with a break for lunch and then into the afternoon finishing for the day at 5pm. Thus leaving a few hours before dinner to boat on one of the lakes on the estate, a walk around the beautiful pleasure grounds or just relax in the wonderful surroundings. The course will continue the next day with lunch also, before the course commences at 5pm.
The price for two days of course tuition, two nights bed and
breakfast, two four course dinners and two light lunches:
Principal bedrooms: €350 per person sharing
Standard bedrooms:€300 per person sharing.
